  • Cole Hamels Complement from Jason Giambi

    PHILADELPHIA -- Cole Hamels retrieved the ball from catcher Sal Fasano, and smiled knowingly. He knew he made a good pitch to Jason Giambi, and caught him at the knees.
    Giambi, the Yankees slugger with a team-leading 20 homers -- two in the series -- gave the obligatory look of disgust to home-plate umpire Jim Reynolds. But he knew the unhittable pitch was exactly where Hamels wanted it, and where Giambi didn't.

    Giambi looked similarly confused during each of his three whiffs and a foul out on Wednesday against Philadelphia's rookie phenom. The kid's mix of fastballs, changeups and curves had the veteran feeling rather useless.

    "He's a harder throwing Barry Zito," Giambi said. "He has a lot of talent. He probably throws a little harder than Barry, but he pitches like a dead-ringer for him. He's got a good idea out there, good stuff, great command of his changeup and throws his breaking ball for strikes. What a great arm."
